My proposal for an Ottawa Dandelion Festival in 2012

Enough complaining about dandelions, let's celebrate 'em. After all, they are on proud display in lawns and parks all over the city. Here's my proposal for an annual Ottawa Dandelion Festival, starting in 2012.

Turns out that besides the Kemptville Dandelion Fest, there is actually another Ottawa Dandelion Festival:http://bit.ly/lxaDBb

But it was a few weeks ago: "Environmentalists, health groups, artists, organic farmers, chefs, and families will join to celebrate the Dandelion Festival in Ottawa's Confederation Park, Saturday, May 11th, from 10-4. An artist's installation of signs about pesticide use will also be unveiled on Parliament Hill."
